Mass rename requested

For many years I published under the name D Ramey Logan, I use that in every other file I uploaded. My name is Don Ramey Logan, and I would like to run a script that does a bulk renaming of the files that remain under D Ramey to read Don Ramey. It is very personal to me that I would rather not go into detail here on. I have one thousand 700 photos, and it would save everyone a lot of time and effort if I continue to do it by hand. I have an associate that is willing to do the scripting and run CommonsDelinker to rename my files on projects I want to make sure no one complains and drags them to COM:ANU Anybody--Don (talk) 05:26, 9 June 2026 (UTC) have any concern?

FWIW, if this move is approved I believe it doesn't need a "script", just MassRename. I don't object, though I'd want to keep the old names as redirects. Leaving this here a bit longer to give a chance for other admins to respond. - Jmabel ! talk 13:52, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

I now see this same request was posted in at least three places: here, Commons:Village_pump/Technical#Request_bulk_name_correction and Commons:Village_pump/Proposals#Mass_rename_request. That is really inappropriate, and inclines me against the request. - Jmabel ! talk 14:06, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

Jmabel, this results from User talk:Alexis Jazz#New question for you. I told Don to find some consensus, "probably on COM:VP". Don asked on VPT which I think was the wrong forum because there was no technical question. Only 1 user responded. So I suggested they put a straw poll on the plain VP or AN. I didn't say both..
I was unaware there already is a tool. No need to write any in that case. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 15:01, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

OK. That was not at all obvious, since he made no mention of prior discussion or someone suggesting he bring it here. - Jmabel ! talk 15:07, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

I was just doing what I was asked to do, sorry to offend you. Don (talk) 18:26, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

I miss understood Alexis Jazz request. I will just do them all by hand. Request withdrawn. Don (talk) 22:36, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

We should either do the mass rename with User:Perhelion/massrename.js or deny the renames altogether. They should not be done by hand, this is wasteful of volunteer time. Current policy has no provision against these renames, so I  Support doing it. We might consider discussing whether Commons:File renaming#FR1 should have some sort of limitation, but that won't be relevant for this case. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 05:25, 10 June 2026 (UTC)

I have very  strong opposing view for these types of requests. @WPPilot mentioned at Revision #1228210057 that they have "the right" to change the name as uploader (I quote – I have right to change that as the uploader). No, you don't have any such right. COM:FR says Unless there is a compelling reason not to, uploader requests should be honored. This is a courtesy, not an absolute right, however. If a file mover feels that a proposed new name is disruptive or inappropriate, they can suggest a different name or decline the request. The requester is not a Filemover and therefore can't perform the move themselves. (And I  Oppose creating them one bcoz of this type of request.) The proposal is not for a handful of files that someone can carry out. Yes we do have MassRename and other things to carry this out and save our time. But, why should we be compelled to? Just because the uploader wants their uploads to be renamed in a certain way bcoz of some personal preference. I'm sorry, I don't buy that. If there was some genuine reason, I would've carried this out by myself, but I don't see that here. Shaan Sengupta^Talk 05:59, 10 June 2026 (UTC)

Hello, I respect your concerns, please let me explain. 1 I was born Don Ramey Logan Jr. All of my life I struggled with my father whom was Don Logan Sr. I don't want to go into details here in public, I have shared more details with Alexis Jazz whom might chime in to shed light on the topic. After my father's last misdeed and theft from me, he died and I did not want to be associated with his miss deeds. Every time I see the D Ramey Logan it takes me back to a very sad time in my life. I am 64 and faced a 50/50 battle with death over the last 2 years. D Ramey Logan is not the legacy I want to leave. I have contributed many fine images over the years, I am only looking to add 2 letters to my first name. I am sorry if this is a big issue. I should have just kept my mouth shut. Don (talk) 06:11, 10 June 2026 (UTC)

Also what I meant was that when you apply the Rename template and use CAT 1 at original uploaders request, the request is completed. Don (talk) 06:14, 10 June 2026 (UTC)

 Support This can be easily handled with the tools we have at Commons. Cheers. // sikander { talk } 🦖 17:08, 11 June 2026 (UTC)

@Shaan Sengupta: I understand why Don wants the files to be renamed and I'm willing to do it, but as it concerns a large number of files I didn't feel it was appropriate to simply go ahead because outside of COM:FR#FR1 we are often more reluctant to move files. So I suggested to Don to find some consensus, but they partly misunderstood my suggestion and ended up asking in multiple places. I've closed the threads on COM:VPT and COM:VPP. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 06:32, 10 June 2026 (UTC)

Dear @Alexis Jazz, I am leaving pings for the participants (@Jmabel and @Andy Dingley). I know you guys have given your inputs, but let's centralise this discussion here. I have already explained my view above. I have full sympathy towards @WPPilot, but when it comes to this request going through, I don't see a way other than courtesy by the community. The technicality behind the request is not just the filemoves but across project replacement that will come along. And WPPilot, whether its two letters or two words or the full name, the process that has to be carried out is the same. Since I don't know the connection with "legacy" and "name", I won't comment on it. That's all from my side for now. Thank you. Shaan Sengupta^Talk 13:16, 10 June 2026 (UTC)

I would weakly oppose renaming the files, because I see it as unnecessary. We don't manage attribution by embedding names in filenames, and there are good reasons to not do that at all.

I'm fine about changing the licence tag, the thing that really matters, and would happily have done this myself days ago, if there had been a reply. It's pointless to do these by hand. Andy Dingley (talk) 13:21, 10 June 2026 (UTC)

Shaan Sengupta, but across project replacement that will come along CommonsDelinker can handle that. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 13:32, 10 June 2026 (UTC)

Yes it definitely can. But I see it more of as an unnecessary burden on CommonsDelinker. If there is consensus for this to be carried out, and since you are ok to do so, I think there must be some way or script that @you can use to do the global replacement by your account only. @Ziv might help with that. Shaan Sengupta^Talk 13:36, 10 June 2026 (UTC)

@Shaan Sengupta, no, it should be done by CommonsDelinker. CommonsDelinker has the bot flag so it won't clog up watchlists. And CommonsDelinker is a robot, so it's no "burden" for it. Generating the commands for CommonsDelinker is no problem. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 13:43, 10 June 2026 (UTC)

Yeah, you are right on this point. My bad. If the request has consensus in favour, you may go ahead this way. Thanks. Shaan Sengupta^Talk 13:50, 10 June 2026 (UTC)

Personally, I would fulfill Don's wish. But I have absolutely no experience with MassRename. I tried it once on some meaningless files, and the result was that I had to rename them a second time. Since then, I've steered clear of it, so I'd rather leave it to someone who knows more about it. However, I would be happy to manually rename files for the uploader without him having to make a request beforehand. זיו「Ziv」 • For love letters and other notes 14:01, 10 June 2026 (UTC)

Thank you. Don (talk) 19:42, 10 June 2026 (UTC)

If there is consensus to do this, I'll do it with MassRename or AWB. And, yes, presumably the much more important thing is to fix the attribution, which should be easily done with VFC and is uncontroversial if requested; for that matter, WPPilot should be able to do that himself. - Jmabel ! talk 04:34, 11 June 2026 (UTC)

Now that Ziv supports and she and Jmabel have shown willingness to perform the request, I take back my objection. If that's enough, someone can perform the request and close this as successful. Thanks. Shaan Sengupta^Talk 14:25, 11 June 2026 (UTC)

Yes, I think fulfilling the request should be ok --PantheraLeo1359531 😺 (talk) 19:12, 11 June 2026 (UTC)

Jmabel, Don wants it, I support it, Sikander supports it, Ziv supports it, Panthera supports it, Shaan Sengupta is neutral (took back their objection) and Andy Dingley weakly opposes.
You have experience with MassRename if I understand correctly. So it may be better if you do it. If you don't have time or changed your mind I could look into it. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 00:11, 17 June 2026 (UTC)

Working on it. MassRename is not the greatest tool, and I may not get it all done right now, but I'm making progress. - Jmabel ! talk 06:24, 17 June 2026 (UTC)

Thank you all very much. Don (talk) 06:36, 17 June 2026 (UTC)

FWIW, I am running into name conflicts, where there are two distinct files whose names differ only in "D Ramey" vs. "Don Ramey". MassRename totally chokes on that. This is proving to be quite a difficult task. While I will continue to work on it, please do not expect this to be quick. - Jmabel ! talk 07:03, 17 June 2026 (UTC)

Jmabel, sorry it took me a while: Commons:Sandbox (revision 1233073721) (1/3), Commons:Sandbox (revision 1233074098) (2/3), Commons:Sandbox (revision 1233074363) (3/3) view this with CSS that shows redirects different from normal links. It seems there were only three conflicts left, which I just resolved. For all the others either the destination doesn't exist or the source is a redirect (so already moved).
Note that the list isn't complete, it's only his UploadWizard uploads (but that's the majority). - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 20:00, 17 June 2026 (UTC)

@Alexis Jazz: I'm not sure how that is supposed to make what I'm doing easier. I have no trouble identifying the files. The main problem is that MassRename is not a very good too, often craps out after three or fewer moves, so I have to keep giving and re-giving the same commmand. - Jmabel ! talk 21:56, 17 June 2026 (UTC)

Jmabel, your previous comment made me think the only problem was with the conflicts you encountered. If I had known I would have scripted something. Thank you for taking on this task! If there's anything I can still do to help let me know. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 07:02, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

@Jmabel: Thank you for your work on this for WPPilot. I saw that you renamed File:Mike Melvill upon the completion of mission 15P the first private trip innto Space photo Don Ramey Logan.jpg.jpg That filename has a typo, "innto", and a duplication of the filename extension. Would it be possible to fix those with another rename? Thanks again! — voidxor 13:53, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

Hello @Voidxor. I'm not Jmabel, but I've corrected that now. Thank you for pointing it out. זיו「Ziv」 • For love letters and other notes 13:57, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

Thank you! Love the teamwork. — voidxor 14:02, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

Replying on two fronts.

@Alexis Jazz: most of the conflicts have arisen when there were to files whose names differed be "d ramey logan" vs. "D Ramey Logan".

@Voidxor: There are many typos in these filenames. I did not volunteer to fix everything wrong with every filename. I am attempting to do as much of this as possible with the MassRename tool: even though it routinely craps out after a few files, it is much faster than doing this by hand. Obviously, it does not look for other issues with the filenames.

This is definitely proving to be the most tedious and time-consuming task I ever volunteered for in my 20 years on this site. - Jmabel ! talk 16:33, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

I'm not very happy with the OP. Making other volunteers run around changing your work when you won't even explain why is low. Add to that the original sloppiness of obviously not caring about typos and mistakes in filenames, by a longtime photo contributor who should well know how semi-permanent our filenames are. I'm sorry to criticize another editor, but somebody needs to underscore that sloppy editing should undermine your ability to make others jump. No response necessary. — voidxor 16:42, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

Jmabel, let me work on it for a bit. MassRename doesn't crap out very often for me, and I suspect the reason is this: when it did crap out, I noticed an AbuseFilter warning from fawiki in the console. I have some status on a stupid amount of wikis, so I don't hit the AbuseFilter very often. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 16:47, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

Jmabel, DO NOT CONTINUE. MassRename is broken. Console tells me "Unable replacing all usages. Usually CD would now have been instructed but you wished not to do so." when it crapped out, and indeed, fawiki wasn't updated and CommonsDelinker was not instructed. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 16:57, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

I need some time to write a new tool from scratch. And then I'll need to collect all the moves that have been performed and create CommonsDelinker commands for those (while taking files that were moved multiple times into consideration). And somebody should stick a big fat warning on User:Perhelion/massrename.js.
This will probably take a few days at least. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 17:16, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

@Alexis Jazz: OK, I'll stop. Since I consistently left redirects, nothing should be broken on any of the other wikis, they just will go through a redirect. you wished not to do so: who is the "you" there? I certainly did not indicate anything of the sort, and wouldn't even have known how to. - Jmabel ! talk 18:19, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

Jmabel, I have no idea, it sounds like a bug. I didn't write that, I was quoting the message I got from the dev console after MassRename crapped out on me when it triggered the AbuseFilter on fawiki. In User:Perhelion/massrename.js this is probably related to "this.replaceUsingCORS = delinkerOptOut;" and AQD.delinkerOptOut.
It doesn't break anything right away, but if such a file is moved again it may break. At least that's how it worked a few years ago but that probably hasn't changed. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 18:35, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

452 KB file size for a 2025 photo, no meaningful EXIF data, the only upload by a new user who only has a total of 5 edits across all wiki projects with one edit on itwiki being reverted for adding content to a wiki article that doesn't match the content of the referenced source (and for adding an image that was deemed inappropriate).

Unfortunately Yandex reverse image search is not doing a good job lately, and Google Lens is currently out of order for Commons images, so no chance to really explain the file size and missing EXIF. Nakonana (talk) 17:29, 17 June 2026 (UTC)

Thanks. I've tagged it for speedy deletion. Geoffroi 17:41, 17 June 2026 (UTC)

@Nakonana: Can you download it locally and then give Google Lens a try with uploading there? I did and found https://www.reddit.com/r/songsforthispicture/comments/1pyseng/any_song/, 1080x1806 from 29 December 2025.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 02:10, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

Jeff G., the quickest way is actually to right-click the image here and choose "copy image" (NOT the image link). Then on Google lens you paste the image itself in the URL field, it'll accept it. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 11:45, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

@Alexis Jazz: Thank you for documenting that. My Chrome has a faster way, right-click on the thumbnail image and choose "Search this image with Google Lens".   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 11:56, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

If I right-click and copy an image on mobile (as far as that is possible), I have no way to insert it into Google Lens (browser version) as it does not support pasting from mobile (keyboard) clipboard. It would probably work if I downloaded the image, but my phone's storage space is rather limited. If I really, really wanted to find the file, I'd probably go for the download, but the combination of file size and lack of EXIF data was already a strong indicator for copyvio in this case.

Okay, but there was no reason for that reply. I matched his energy. Not everybody is as savvy as Wiki Commons editors, and it's frustrating when you just want to resolve something for the second time in as many months but you're forced to stop and Google terms or acronyms when somebody uses inside jargon to an outsider. MoonsMoon MoonsMoon 19:25, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

I stand by what I wrote. If someone in a discussion uses a word you don't know, look it up. If for some reason it is not easy to use a search engine, at least check Commons:Editor's index to Commons, and/or ask the person who used the term you don't know. I probably have to do this a couple of times a month myself; at least 25 entries in Commons:Editor's index to Commons are there because I ran across a term I didn't know and added it there once I found out what it meant, and another 25+ because I noticed someone needing something explained to them. - Jmabel ! talk 20:59, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

As do I. MoonsMoon MoonsMoon 03:19, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

MoonsMoon, you didn't upload the original photos.
The original photos are not in PNG format. They are generally .jpg or .heic files. (sometimes raw but not .png) Do you use an iPhone, Android smartphone, digital camera or something else as a camera? In most cases you connect your device to a computer with a USB cable and (for smartphones) enable USB image transfer. On an iPhone you may have to adjust a setting to get .jpg files as Commons doesn't support .heic: Settings, Apps, Photos, enable "Automatic" instead of "Keep Originals".
If you're using a smartphone you could alternatively try the Commons app. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 18:25, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

Edited - I misread your reply, thank you. I'll try to upload the originals. If I don't though, it's not on purpose. MoonsMoon MoonsMoon 18:32, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

I don't even know what the photos were because they're deleted and I can't see them. MoonsMoon MoonsMoon 18:33, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

@MoonsMoon: Yes. See all the filenames at Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by MoonsMoon. You can upload the original files (before they got to Google Photos) here, and crop them with COM:CROPT. This noticeboard is accessible by almost anyone. Every time photo editing or transmission software touches a photo, there is a risk of loss of the metadata added by the camera originally, please try to avoid such loss by using e.g. email vs. MMS text messaging or facebook. See also EXIF.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 18:48, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

Moonsmoon also asked this question on my talk page three times in less than ten minutes. I responded there with:

"I deleted your images because, as noted in the DR, they were taken from FaceBook. At Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by MoonsMoon you were instructed that in order for the files to remain, you must either replace the FB images with images directly from your camera or use VRT to confirm that you were the actual photographer. Seven months have elapsed and you have done neither of these, so I deleted the files." .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 18:49, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

This is the second time in as many months that my photos have been nominated for deletion or deleted. Last time I had to come here and explain that they were my photos I took in Cambodia because someone from Wikipedia wanted to claim them for Thailand and accused me of lying. Sorry for the initial annoyance but since anybody can nominate photos to be deleted for any reason, I was pretty frustrated and wanted to resolve it.

As for the deletion nomination months ago, yes, that's my fault, because I thought it was fine once I explained, and that I'd have to use original photos going forward. So when suddenly they were all deleted, I had the reaction I did. I'm sorry.

I'll try to figure out which photos they were, it was a while ago. I'll upload the originals, but if I don't, it's not on purpose. MoonsMoon MoonsMoon 19:06, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

Deletion requests File Zhuravlev.jpg

User Yann (talk · contribs) groundlessly accused me of trolling Commons:Deletion requests/File:Zhuravlev.jpg. I think this is a violation of the rule COM:AGF. I previously contacted him on the discussion page to find out his motivations for keeping the file. You ignored my message. And he ignored my survey. I had no choice but to initiate the official deletion procedure. In addition, the user summed up the first result without evaluating the arguments. We still don't know why the year of creation is listed as 1940. We don't know the publication date. Although in the second nomination he refers to a criterion that requires a specific publication date to be established. He also believes that the lack of an author's name indicates the work is anonymous, which is contrary to Russian law (see: ). Thus, he makes conclusions without any real knowledge of the law, which may lead to copyright infringement. — Redboston 11:59, 20 June 2026 (UTC)

Hi, This user repeatedly asks about the this deletion, but as far as I can tell, they didn't even read the license. So unless Redboston provides more information which makes this license invalid, e.g. an author, this is just trolling. Yann (talk) 17:17, 20 June 2026 (UTC)
